The Gun Club - The Lie

[@teecuzbruh4058]

Man oh man JLP's live vocals are just unbelievable

[@MrLuxint]

this is how a bass guitar should be played. viva patricia, RIP JLP

[@shb8124]

Patricia is just fantastic here 🖤🖤🖤

[@moblackledge]

Jesus they were great. 40 years later they still hold up.

[@shb8124]

Not just hold up but still sound better than most 😃

[@shb8124]

Good old aunty Pat thumping out that bass line and being hot as ever in her pre Sisters days, love it. By far one of my fave Gun Club songs, effing brilliant 🖤

[@KimberleeSweeney-Rettber-vr7yh]

[@spacemiezy]

Most underrated band in history

[@stevesheldon2342]

Bass sounds killer in this take

Right? Totally killer.

[@End-Result]

The most vicious bass sound I've ever heard

[@MrWayout74]

Couldn't agree more. I'm only just discovering this band thanks to Mark Lanegan's book. Amazing band.

[@paulvanreesch2493]

Yup, Patricia Morrison.

[@shb8124]

Patricia's bass just totally makes this performance brilliant 👏 🖤

[@jcdova29]

Great song, great band. Started listening to Fire of Love again recently, what an amazing album.

" Fire of Love " is probably the greatest Punk rock album of its era .

[@themilkman3333]

for me Miami is the pinnacle but I love all their albums

[@maddogg63]

I could slap my face for loving hardcore bands at the time..years later fully realized the slap is real......LOVE GUN CLUB! Seen em at 5 times back then...arrgghhh.

[@larrycourtney8893]

When I first got into hardcore So-Cal punk in the early 80s they were definitely my favorite band. Some would say they weren't exactly a ' punk 'band,and they would have a point to some degree..but they definitely did have that dark, nihilistic energy that drew me to hardcore punk, I loved them.

[@LokkieF]

This is in Paradiso, in Amsterdam, around 1985. I remember it as it was yesterday.

[@rdehaan1491]

i am from amsterdam just missed him in 83 84 85 , bummer but i did see tex and the horseheads , the cramps , killing joke and the legendary stardust cowboy live in Paradiso on Leidseplein in amsterdam way to go .

[@rdehaan1491]

thankfully he lives on in the white stripes.

[@peterevans6102]

The best band from the 80's, easily. Jeffrey Lee Pierce - so talented, charismatic. Everyone should own the The Gun Club catalogue, it would do everyone a lot of good. Check out the 1st 2 LPs Fire Of Love & Miami. Every home should have a copy.

[@JohnMoseley]

One of the best bands of all time.

[@haga1788]

Best band EVER

[@pierop2051]

Las Vegas story is also amazing but I discovered it years later as influenced by the negative comments by the critics

[@terrypussypower]

One of the best, no doubt! But there was loads of competition for that title. The Butthole Surfers, Wire, Meat Puppets, Black Flag, Minutemen, The Birthday Party, Big Black, The Fall, Slayer, Coil, Young Gods, Half Japanese, Husker Du etc etc etc etc etc.

[@ezkibela]

And Dead Milkmen, Tex and the Horseheads, 16 Horsepower, Wood Chicken...that play kind of same music , wich was called Cow Punk

[@c2believe101]

Patricia Morrison from her time with Sisters of Mercy brought me here and unlike her aweful miming in SOM its obvious from this track she could actually play, apologies to Pat as watching her in SOM i honestly thought she couldnt and was just there for "the look". Never really got into the gun club but based on this track i'm going to have a listen, maybe 40 years late but better late than never 😁

It was part of the Death Party EP, which came out as a 33rpm 7", Death Party on one side, this and The House on Highland Avenue on the other. I had that. I think there might have been a 12" with one more song, maybe Come Back, Jim.

[@cftvdata]

Jeffrey really had the exact same "sweet spot" as Bob Stinson... without any drugs or alcohol in him, he was nervous and self-conscious onstage, and with one beer too many, he'd completely fall apart. But get him right into that perfect, slightly-dead-eyed range that is clearly obvious here, and he'd belt out a performance for the ages. The brightest lights always burn out the fastest, sadly.

[@stephanvenner2939]

If nowadays a band plays like this all this wannabecoolfashionposer wouldn't dig it. This is Rock'n'Roll,raw,live and out of control! Viva Gun Club,R.I.P. Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Fender Guitars are the Best!!

[@cesargarduno7999]

Never heard of this band, this a story behind this and how I got here. I went to a bar and the bartender girl was wearing this shirt. Most beautiful looking Ukrainian girl mix with some Asian in her. Could not take my eyes all night and she knew it too, my stares were so bad that she felt it. I went with another girl she was next to me and probably made the girl next to me uncomfortable. At the end she only charged me the girl drinks but not my beers, was so surprised.
